TMobile family plan with Motorola Razr and Samsung phone. Great service and selection of phones/plans is good too.

T-Mobile is the suck, they screwed me over horribly when changing plans and phones. They keep charging me for two phones, even though I only have one, and their overage charges are insane. I've gone into corporate stores and called customer service allot and they still can't resolve the problem, even though they say its fixed. Customer service is really bad, salespeople know nothing about the phones and how a cellphone plan works, and just generally overall suck. I've had Verizon, Cingular, AT&T (before it was Cingular) before and have been uber happy, the family plan is the only thing that attracted me to T-Mobile. I'm ready to drop my service for Cingular or others.

Yes they do. When I'm up in Ft. Bragg for work, it reads a totally different network name on my phone.

Thanks for your input
Verizon. Love the service/coverage - never one had any issue over the 2+yrs ive had their service, i went from rancho to santa cruz and never had any issues with coverage or reception loss. never tried to screw me over like sprint does with charges from what i hear. theyre always very nice to fix any issue whether it be in store or over the phone.

I have the Motorola E815, i had the LG VX600. only complaint about the E815, i hate those pull out antennas, its unnecessary since i never need it and it sometimes comes out and gets bent.

id recommend verizon to anyone, its great, affordable, and wont screw u over

Damn. If you can form a judgement on mobile providers based on what everyone has posted... I'm more confused after reading.

<----Cingular Blue.

Old AT&T customer. Cingular bought the AT&T cell stuff. Now it looks like AT&T might take it all back.

Coverage in my house used to suck (cingular, AT&T GSM, or Nextel). Both GSM providers use the same towers. Then I got the RAZR and can be anywhere in the house and still not drop a call. So plus one for choosing the right phone too.

I'm a big fan of GSM. You have a lot of choices for phones. Especially gray market imports.

+1.


Whatever provider you choose, make sure they have phone insurance. If I remember correctly for cingular it's about $5/month and they'll replace your phone within 2 days (usually next day). It's great to have if you drop your phone as much as I do.

When the black RAZR came out... people who had the insurance and needed a replacement got silver RAZRs. They were pissed.

SBC took over the wireless portion of AT&T and rolled it into Cingular.

internally you have Cingular orange (og style) and Cingular blue (att).

AT&T (the non-wireless remainder of the above) recently put in a bid to purchase Cingular. Ending up bigger than they were before. Not sure where that went or if they just decided to keep the cingular name.
